The Research and Training Center for Children's Mental Health (RTC) is now accepting applications to present at the 20th Annual Research Conference. The national conference, A System of Care for Children's Mental Health: Expanding the Research Base, will be held March 4-7, 2007 at the Tampa Marriott Waterside in Tampa, Florida.

This year we celebrate a special anniversary - for 20 years, the Center has hosted this event to share the latest research on implementing systems of care. Consequently, a national network of researchers, evaluators, administrators, policy makers, planners, advocates, and family members now work in concert to promote the emotional and behavioral well-being of children and their families. Collectively, we can take pride that for 20 years our work has supported important change in practice and policy, and improved the way communities address the mental health needs of children and their families. Our job, however, is far from done.

In the next decades, as a field, we must firmly establish the empirical foundation for building effective systems of care that produce meaningful outcomes in real-world settings. Your work can contribute to this goal.

You are invited to add your knowledge and experience to the research base for systems of care serving children with mental health needs and their families.

The Call for Papers Deadline is October 31, 2006. Instructions and the online application to present symposia, paper presentations, topical discussions, and poster presentations are now available at: http://rtckids.fmhi.usf.edu/rtcconference/presenters/

We are especially interested in proposals addressing research and evaluation related to:

* Service system assessment, development
* Center for Mental Health Services Programs
* Dissemination and implementation
* Policy development and implementation
* Treatment effectiveness
* Effectiveness of partnerships, including those with family members
* Educational outcomes in systems of care
* Effectiveness of child welfare/foster care programs

The Psychopharmacology of Addiction Craving
Description
CE seminar for licensed addiction and mental health professionals.

Location
Ridgeview Institute
3995 South Cobb Drive
Smyrna, GA 30080
Program Agenda
Craving in addiction is an ill-defined, but universally consistent part of the experience of addiction. In recent years, neuroscientists have partly delineated the underlying neural circuitry of this phenomenon. Every caregiver that manages addicted individuals through any aspect of the addiction and recovery process should be familiar with craving and its treatment.

This three hour workshop will present current concepts in the neurophysiology of craving in addictive disease. Using this framework, the workshop will examine new medications used in the management of craving delineating the proper medication use and medication timing. The workshop will discuss the use of naltrexone (oral and long-acting intramuscular forms) and acamprosate. Other experimental medications will be described as well. The workshop will examine the interplay between therapy, medications and self-help groups, keeping the clients needs at the center of the discussion.

Program Agenda
As a mental health professional, it is likely that you are being confronted by an increasing number of clients with alcohol and drug problems. At the same time, you may be finding that traditional treatment approaches are neither professionally satisfying nor capable of reaching the increasingly diverse population now seeking your services. You may also be finding that existing approaches are not cost-effective.

At this workshop, 40 years of research on what works in the field of alcohol and drug treatment will be translated into empirically supported therapeutic skills that you can actually use for the practical, efficient, and individualized problem drinkers in your clinical practice. Participants will not only learn how to deal with the most difficult and challenging clients, but also learn a method of incorporating valid and reliable outcome information into the treatment process.

Refuge Art Gallery - Series 1: Mad Hatter
Description
Refuge Art Gallery celebrates the work of artists in recovery (AIR). AIR include those individuals actively in the process of recovery from alcohol or drug dependency, mental illness, debilitating disease, or a serious incapacitating injury or trauma.

Typically these artists have survived a living hell. Their art explores life experiences that, while often touching on torment, most frequently celebrate strength, resolve and hope achieved through personal and spiritual growth.

The goal of Refuge is to remedy this by helping these artists attain or regain their full potential within the fine arts world.

Our first exhibit is also our grand opening. Visit www.refuge for complete details.

1st Annual SAMHSA Recovery Month Fun Walk/Run - SAMHSA Sponsored
Description

National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month (Recovery Month) is an annual observance, now in its 17th year, that takes place in September throughout the country. Recovery Month serves to educate the public that substance abuse is a national health crisis, that addiction is a treatable disease, and that recovery is possible. Recovery Month highlights the benefits of treatment for not only the affected individual, but for their family, friends, workplace, and society as a whole. Recovery Month also honors individuals in recovery and acknowledges the valuable contributions of treatment providers and supporters in the lives of people recovering from substance abuse.

Recovery Month is a nationwide event that engages national organizations and local communities to host recovery-focused activities. These activities have resulted in positive media exposure and growing support for addiction and recovery issues. This support comes from elected officials, policymakers, education leaders, judges, health providers, and the faith community. Each year, SAMHSA sponsors local events throughout the country. On September 27, 2006, SAMHSA will host its 1st Annual SAMHSA Recovery Month Fun Walk/Run at 10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. All SAMHSA staff and contractors are invited to participate, subject to supervisory permission.

Adrian Training School 1st Annual Recovery Month Substance Abuse Fair
Description
The substance abuse program at Adrian Training School held a substance abuse fair in order to increase awareness surrounding substance abuse prevention and treatment, highlight the benefits of treatment and recovery from substance use disorders, help overcome barriers and stigmas that can affect people who are seeking treatment or are in recovery, and to identify service providers who could serve as resources for our young women as they transition back to their communities. We began the event with a tour of our campus and then we invited a guest Speaker from Home of New Vision to speak to our youth about her story of addiction and recovery. We then held a fair in the afternoon which consisted of varios service providers and we simultaneously held breakout sessions which include:
Breakout Session 1 - Stress Management: How to Relax in Recovery
Breakout Session 2 - Women and Alcohol: What Are the Facts?
Breakout Session 3 - 12-Step Basics

Dawn Farm Education Series
Description
The Dawn Farm Education Series is a FREE annual workshop series developed to provide accurate, helpful, hopeful, practical, current information about chemical dependency and recovery.

The series is organized by Dawn Farm, a non-profit community of programs providing a range of chemical dependency services. Dawn Farms goal is to assist addicts and alcoholics to achieve long-term recovery. Dawn Farm works to identify and remove barriers that prevent addicts and alcoholics from joining the recovering community. The Education Series is designed to reduce the myths, misconceptions, prejudices, secrecy, shame and stigma that prevent addicts, alcoholics and their families from getting help and getting well, and to help create a community culture that supports recovery.

The programs are presented by Dawn Farm staff and other experts. This years series will kick-off with a very popular workshop titled Addiction 101, presented by James Balmer, Dawn Farms President, who later in the series will also present a new workshop, Language of the Heart, that is guaranteed to deeply touch anyone who has ever been touched by recovery. Several past favorites will be revisited, including a workshop on "Intervention" by Jeff and Debra Jay, internationally-know intervention experts, authors, and media personalities and co-authors of the popular book, "Love First: A New Approach to Alcoholism and Addiction." Other new workshops will include "Decade of Decision: The Future of Addiction Treatment & Recovery" by William White, a renowned expert in the field of addiction/recovery and author of the popular books, "Pathways from the Culture of Addiction to the Culture of Recovery," "Slaying the Dragon: The History of Addiction Treatment and Recovery in America," and numerous other publications.

Programs will be presented on several Tuesday evenings, from October 17, 2006 through July 3, 2007. All will be held from 7:30 pm to 9:00 pm. Please see http://www.dawnfarm.org/edseries_workshops.html for details.

Title
Implementing Effective Interventions for the Treatment of Co-Occurring Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders"
Description
Individuals with co-occurring disorders are associated with poor outcomes and high costs throughout the service system yet have been traditionally defined as misfits rather than priorities within all systems of care. Recently, SAMHSA has begun to make system strategies to address the needs of these individuals a priority, and has funded COSIG grants in fifteen states to create system change to support integrated treatment. This presentation reviews examples of systems difficulties faced by individuals with co-occurring psychiatric and substance disorders in public and private settings, and identifies research based principles of successful treatment intervention for these individuals in the context of a parallel disease and recovery integrated conceptual framework that uses a common language that makes sense from the perspective of both the addiction field and the mental health field. The presentation then illustrates the application of these principles to the design of a strategy for the resolution of these systems difficulties through the development of a comprehensive, continuous, integrated system of care (CCISC) for psychiatric and substance disorders that maximizes use of all existing resources to initiate integrated treatment, and develops expectations that all programs achieve Dual Diagnosis Capability to provide properly matched services within existing resources to the individuals with COD that they already are serving. This model is recognized by SAMHSA as a best practice, and is being utilized in thirteen of the fifteen COSIG states.

The workshop discussion then illustrates a systematic process for implementing this model, building on work in twenty five states and two Canadian provinces, utilizing simultaneous interventions at the system, program, clinical practice, and clinician levels, and reports on progress of various system changing initiatives from different parts of the US and Canada. The first part of the workshop emphasizes system and program level strategies; the second part of the workshop discusses clinical practice guidelines for assessment and treatment matching and the process of implementation of those guidelines.

Let Your Life Speak
Description
"Let Your Life Speak is a walk to support recovery and celebrate sobriety. It is the 1st annual Recovery Month event hosted by the SPARC Alumni. It is not a fund raiser, but an event to educate and raise public awareness. We want to put a positive face on recovery and demonstrate that treatment works. Our goal is to advocate for an end to the stigma that keeps people from seeking the help they need. We are reaching out not only to the recovering community, but to families, friends, community groups, victim's groups, schools, churches and anyone who supports our goals. There is plenty of media coverage of the evils of alcohol and drug addiction. We want to set aside a Sunday afternoon when the news will be positive. We will "Let Our Lives Speak" to prove that recovery is real.

"Celebrate Recovery" Poster Display
Description
The Substance Treatment And Recidivism Reduction (STARR) program is an intensive four week in-jail chemical dependency treatment program. STARR is administered by Criminal Justice Resource Center in conjunction with the Durham County Office of the Sheriff. STARR provides chemical dependency treatment services to the criminal offender in the Durham County Detention Facility.

The program accepts volunteer and court-mandated men and women inmates into treatment for four weeks (STARR). Upon completion of STARR, an additional four-week program (STARR GRAD) is available. STARR also provides referral and case management services.

Treatment consists of addiction education, group therapy, and community resources education. Inmates are also required to attend daily 12-step H&I recovery meetings.

The Substance Treatment And Recidivism Reduction (STARR) program's contribution to National Alcohol & Drug Addiction Recovery Month involved an art therapy project conducted with the July and August STARR and STARR GRAD classes. The men and women of STARR made Celebrate Recovery collage posters that are displayed in the lobby of the Durham County Detention Facility through September. The themes for the poster collages this year were "Building a Stronger, Healthier Community" and "Join the voices for recovery".

The food line was longer than anticipated as we planned for 150 and more than 200 attended! Everyone was very patient and kind. The program was moving and inspirational. Sara, a local speaker, shared her testimony and Nigel Wrangham motivated all to be involved in our local community through encouragement and support.

A last-minute plan included opening up the aquatic center for families to go from the park to the pool for a family swim. This was a great opportunity for families to continue the celebration in family style. Huge success!!

"Celebrating Recovery"
Description
To promote the hopeful and healing message of recovery, THE OPEN DOOR of Indiana, PA, is participating in the 17th annual observance of NATIONAL ALCOHOL AND DRUG ADDICTION RECOVERY MONTH. We invite the Indiana community to join us in "CELEBRATING RECOVERY". Listen to the heartfelt stories of recovery from persons struggling with and succeeding in the recovery process over addiction to substance abuse - alcohol or other drugs. Recovery is a lifelong process and journey. The process involves not only the addict, but the addict's family and friends. By participating in RECOVERY MONTH, you are supporting those already in recovery and encouraging those in need of help to seek treatment. Learning about these issues will make it easier to break down barriers to treatment. And it requires everyone's help to build a stronger, healthier community - together.

3rd Annual Recovery Sports-Link 2006
Description
Third Annual Recovery-Sports-Link

The Institute for Research, Education and Training in Addictions (IRETA) and the Northeast Addiction Technology Transfer Center (NeATTC) is proud to announce the Third Annual Recovery Sports-Link an Evening with the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday September 26, 2006. This community awareness anti-stigmatization event is held in celebration of National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month.

The 2006 Recovery Month theme Join the Voices for Recovery: Build a Stronger, Healthier Community encourages communities to take immediate action to improve local access to treatment and recovery. "Too often, society focuses on the devastating health and societal consequences of substance use disorder, " said Michael Flaherty, Ph.D., executive director of IRETA. "But recovery from alcohol and other drug addiction is happening for millions of Americans." Dr. Flaherty adds, "When substance use disorder is appropriately diagnosed and treated, recovery brings many happy results Families heal. Money is saved. Life gets better. Recovering people give back. Everyone wins."

The Pittsburgh Pirates join seven other Major League Baseball organizations in sponsoring Recovery Month celebrations nationwide this September. Pre-game ceremonies and recognition of fans in recovery and their treatment professionals mark the event. Information distributed to the thousands of other fans in attendance will convey that substance use disorder is a treatable illness with positive recovery possibilities.

The National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month Celebration is in its seventeenth year and features hundreds of events throughout the United States honoring people in recovery and raising community awareness about the effectiveness of treatment and recovery practices.

Title
Premiere for movie Recovery Happens in Brown County
Description
Brown County Human Services has produced a new movie interviewing 5 residents about their recovery; what their life was like before they got sober,what was their breaking point, what resources they used, how their life has changed since they got sober, and how they help other's to achieve sobriety. Brown County used funds from a Pakcer Golf Outing fund raiser to produce the movie w/ COM-Video. We plan to give away free copies of the movie to all middle and high schools in brown county and all treatment providers as well as any community organization or church who has interest in showing the movie. A teachers discussion guide, a student quiz, and a consumer satisfactions survey will be given to all organizations and schools, with a copy of the movie. I will also be offering to present the movie to any school or organization who would like me to come and lead a discussion. The premiere will be a launch of the movie with the hope that people who see it will talk about it and encourage their organizations to take advantage of the free movie. We will be serving appetizers and non-alcoholic punch prior to showing the movie. We hope to have at least 400 people attend, but as we get closer we will have a better read on how many. We have the capacity for 1000. The video is about 15 minutes long.
